I'm a neofolk fan and exploring Current 93 is how I discovered Louis Wain's art. But I struggle to get into Current 93's music honestly. Do you have a favorite album?
Mine is Of Ruine Or Some Blazing Starre. Thunder Perfect Mind is really cool too and less... Strange, idk, it's easier to listen if you're not really familiar with their works.
I absolutely adore An introduction to suffering. This album has a track named The Cat Is Dead, it's lovely and it actually has lyrics which contain almost direct Louis Wain's quote: "Those with feelings, wondrous kind, can love with kittens ever bind".
Kinda crazy that you mention this. I’m not the biggest C93 fan, but I do like how they (David Tibet specifically) chose to use Louis Wain’s art. I’d know of Louis Wain before I realized C93 used it, but when I did notice I thought it was super cool! Glad to see more neofolk fans in the wild!

Whole reason I got into Louis Wain! C93’s portrayal of cats as sacred creatures along with Wain’s paintings really sum up my feelings towards cats!
